The American Indian Student Association, commonly referred to as AISA, was established in the early 1900s at the University of Oklahoma. The purpose of the organization is to promote and encourage the welfare of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students at OU by providing a broad spectrum of educational, social, and cultural acitivities that support their personal and academic goals.
AISA is a Department Sponsored Organization and is advised by Community Engagement at the Office of Student Life.
AISA membership is open to any enrolled student at the University of Oklahoma who is interested and committed to promote the Native community. However, students do not have to be paid members to participate in AISA events and meetings.
AISA has championed the establishment of the Five Moons Student Lounge, advocating on behalf of the Indigenous student population The culmination of these efforts was realized on March 24, 2021, when the lounge was officially inaugurated. Over the course of the preceding year, this facility has functioned as pivotal nucleus for Indigenous students to convene on campus. Serving multifaceted purposes, the space accommodates AISA meetings, weekly fellowship meals, social events, and provides dedicated study areas for students.
Five Moons Lounge is located at Copeland Hall on OU-Norman campus. Five Moons Lounge is open Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 11 PM.
